Ellie,
Thank you for the thyroid advice. I did know that you were in Piecing but somehow I thought it was rude to post a medical question on your own thread, so I did it on my own. Then when you didn't see it, I chased you all over the board--duh! Shoulda just came here.

I appreciate the info. My gut feeling is that something is wrong with not only his thyroid but his mom and sister's. As I was reading the symptom list, it was like 3 lights going off in my head..one for each of them.

I'll check it out and let you know what happens. You were my inspiration to look into this in the first place and I thank you!

P.S. Congrats to Son, what a big adventure he's about to embark upon.
